April 21, 2026 (Launch Day 🎉)

It's Here. Saltwater Between Us is LIVE.

I almost wrote a very composed, professionally poised launch post.

And then I thought: no. No, we're not doing that.

SALTWATER BETWEEN US IS OUT TODAY AND I'M SO EXCITED I COULD CRY.

(I did cry. This morning. Coffee in hand, staring at my own cover on my phone screen.)

This book—this book. I have been living with Cerys and Liam for so long that they feel less like characters I invented and more like people I had the privilege of following around and writing down. Cerys, who is steadier than she knows and braver than she gives herself credit for. Liam, who carries so much and asks for so little and finally, finally gets to want something for himself.

Their story is about the sea, and the islands, and a love that doesn't ask either of them to be less than who they are. But mostly, it's about what happens when you stop waiting for the right time to live your actual life.

I wrote it for every reader who's ever tucked away a dream for "later." For every woman who's been told that love and ambition are in competition. For everyone who's looked out at the water—literal or metaphorical—and thought, what if I just... went?

This one is for you.

How to celebrate with me today:

⭐ Leave a Goodreads review — even "I started this and cannot stop" counts —> Goodreads

📢 Tell a friend — specifically the friend who needs a book that makes her feel like she can do the thing

☕ Make something warm, find a sunny spot, and let Cerys take you somewhere beautiful

I'll be posting and celebrating all week long. Come find me on [Facebook | Instagram| TikTok]. I want to see your reading nooks, your coffee mugs, your "okay just one more chapter" selfies.

The water's warm. Cerys is waiting. Let's go.
